Chapter 171 No! Bet on me!
There were many new and interesting things on the street. Chang Qing looked left and right and soon came to a crowded open area. There was only an ancient and tall wooden building standing in this area. From time to time, bursts of shouting could be heard. It sounded like this should be a place like an arena.
Changqing was just about to take a detour. After all, he was not interested in all this fighting and killing.
But seeing a flash of expectation in Ling Yu's eyes, Chang Qing had to stop thinking and said to Ling Yu:
"Go in and take a look?"
Ling Yu didn't say anything, as if he knew that Chang Qing had seen through his thoughts. He scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed, his face slightly red, and finally just nodded.
The arena was packed with people. In the crowd, Chang Qing saw a familiar figure, a little fat man - Liu Jiakai.
The little fat man was watching a fight below, shouting loudly, and in his hand were the gambling chips, and it was obvious who he was betting on.
Changqing and Lingyu came to the side of the little fat man. Changqing looked down and saw that they were competing in talisman making. The little fat man was staring at one person, looking a little nervous, but with the confidence of winning in his eyes, he didn't notice Changqing approaching at all.
The two people competing on the stage are one old and one young.
The old man was thin, his hands moved quickly, and his carving knife was steady, accurate and ruthless. It was obvious that he was a veteran.
The young girl, on the other hand, was carving with the carving knife and brush slowly and calmly.
There seems to be no suspense about winning or losing.
Time passes minute by minute,
The old man had several magic-level talismans piled up at hand, and looked like he was sure of victory.
The young girl on the stage was still carving carefully on a talisman, but her work was far from that of the old man.
When a stick of incense burned out and the whistle sounded to signal the end of the game, both men stopped at the same time.
Many people in the field had happy expressions on their faces, and they obviously supported the old man and placed bets.
A powerful person in the Yundan realm came forward to check the talismans of the two people. When he saw several magic-level talismans in the old man's hand, he said: "Seven magic-level middle-grade talismans, the quality is top-grade!"
Many people cheered, but the fat boy did not join in the cheering. The girl he was escorting only clenched her fists, which turned pale. The fat boy was actually a little nervous.
The powerful Dan Yun came in front of the girl, looked at the only talisman, and shook his head. He was already at a disadvantage in terms of quantity.
Picking up the pale golden talisman and taking a closer look, the expert was surprised. He looked at the girl and the talisman in disbelief, swallowed his saliva and said, "A Xuan-grade talisman, of medium quality!"
"Wow!" The crowd suddenly became noisy
"A mid-level Xuan-grade talisman?! Is this true? I must have seen it wrong!"
"Impossible! How could I lose? All my belongings! I must have seen it wrong!"
Many people began to question.
The powerful man in the Yundan realm said with all his might, "This is the fact. I am not mistaken. If you don't believe me, you can go forward and check it out."
Under the pressure, everyone fell silent.
The old man slowly walked to Yundanjing's side, took the talisman from his hand and examined it carefully. After a long sigh, he saluted to the girl and said, "I lost."
As soon as he finished speaking, many audience members looked pale and collapsed to the ground.
The girl on the stage unexpectedly turned the tables, and the winner turned out to be the one favored by the fat man.
The little fat boy let out an "owl", and the tension on his face finally disappeared, turning into excitement. It seemed that the person he was escorting was a young girl.
When the little fat boy turned around, he bumped into Chang Qing.
The little fat man looked up and saw a familiar mask. "Brother Wang, Brother Ling, what a coincidence, you are here too. You guys just watch first, I'll go and claim the prize first!"
Looking at the fat boy's back, Chang Qing was very curious about how Liu Jiakai knew that the girl would win. Moreover, the expression Liu Jiakai showed during the game seemed to show that he had known the result for a long time.
After a while, the little fat boy came over with spiritual stones of various colors in his arms, amid the envious and jealous eyes of others.
"Senior Brother Wang, Senior Brother Ling, you don't know that the odds are 1 to 6. I'm going to make a fortune this time." The little fat man looked at the crystal in his arms and couldn't contain his excitement.
"Junior Brother Liu, it seems that you have already predicted that this girl will win, but is there any trick?" Chang Qing asked curiously.
The little fat man waved his hand and said, "Brother Wang, you are too kind. This is not a trick at all. I just like to pay attention to some news."
"Let's talk about this girl. Half a month ago, the Southern Region was talking about a mysterious person. It was said that she was born with the courage of talismans at a young age, and was close to the great way of talismans. She was a genius in the art of talismans that was rare in a thousand years. It was said that she was supernatural. However, most people just listened to it as a current event and didn't pay much attention to the girl's appearance. Junior brother is not talented, but I have a photographic memory of everything I have seen. When the girl came on stage for the first time, I knew it was that person, so I bet on her."
Chang Qing and Ling Yu suddenly realized that these people lost because they didn't read the news.
"So what is the origin of this girl..." Chang Qing asked.
"Qi Fuzhi is a famous talisman-making family in the Southern Region. The Qi family is also extremely powerful. I believe that this time they are borrowing the Feiyun Sect's formation to participate in the Southern Region Taoism Conference." The little fat man said like he knew everything.
Changqing nodded and looked at the audience. The next round was about to begin.
A handsome young man dressed in the uniform of a Feiyun Sect disciple walked onto the stage, clasped his fists and said, "My name is Yan Tunan. Next, I want to compete with one of you in formation, and my bet is the 'Thunder Stone'."
Yan Tunan lifted up a fist-sized clear blue stone, and there were even tiny arcs of electricity flashing on the stone.
There were quite a few people among the crowd who knew what was good. Although they were tempted, they did not make any move, as if they were afraid of something.
Chang Qing glanced at the little fat man. The Liu family became more open-minded and introduced Yan Tunan: "This person is the best among the younger generation of Feiyun Sect. He is a very rare formation cultivator. He hides the formation on his body and is good at both attack and attack. He is a troublesome character. What's more, the competition now is about formation, which is even more difficult, so no one dares to go out."
Changqing glanced at Lingyu inconspicuously. Changqing naturally knew the effect of the thunder stone.
She took out a thousand spirit stones from the earrings and gave them to Liu Jiakaidao: "Help me place the bet."
Liu Jiakai was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Senior Brother Wang wants to bet on Yan Tunan?"
"No, bet on me!" Chang Qing said, then stood up slightly and walked down.
Changqing's figure naturally attracted most of the attention.
"Look, who is this person? Want to challenge Yan Tunan?" The audience started to discuss.
"This guy is still asleep, how dare he challenge Yan Tunan!"
"Someone actually dares to step forward. Senior Brother Tuanan will make a fortune again."
"This kid wants to challenge, but why does he wear a mask? How weird."
There was a lot of discussion.
Liu Jiakai came back to his senses from his shock, looked at Ling Yu and said, "Brother Wang, this...isn't it too much."
Ling Yu shook his head. He knew Chang Qing would not do anything without confidence. He then said, "Since he dares to go up, he must be sure of winning. Help me bet some too."
Ling Yu also took out several hundred spirit stones from his family fortune and gave them to Liu Jiakai.
